This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population in that it provides Multidimensional Treatment Foster Care (MTFC) services to Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) youth who are in foster care or in intensive treatment foster care homes, and their families, including mental health services, medication support, and crisis intervention.  
  
On September 10, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74–317-16 with Alternative Family Services, Inc., for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2020, for the provision of MTFC services to SED youth and their families.  
  
Approval of Amendment #74-317-17 will allow the Contractor to continue to provide MTFC services through June 30, 2020.
